The Program

Open-source dashboards for climate resilience and international data usage – hands-on with Apache Superset in the Horizon Europe project GRACE (conducted by aconium GmbH)

09:00 - 10:30 | Room 260 | German

Elisabeth Fürst (aconium GmbH) and Daniel Yanev (aconium GmbH)

How can climate data be processed in such a way that it really has an impact? In the EU project GRACE (Growing Climate Resilience in Remote Rural Areas through Community Empowerment), European partners are working to strengthen the climate resilience of rural regions with the help of freely accessible data and digital technologies. In this workshop, participants will create their own open, interactive dashboard and learn step by step how to make meaningful use of publicly available maps and specialist data. This includes geodata from OpenStreetMap (OSM) – a global, collaboratively maintained free map platform – as well as supplementary factual information such as climate or population data. We will demonstrate in a practical way how freely available data can be turned into understandable visualizations and why the conscious use of data is more important than the tool used. Using Apache Superset, participants gain insights into open-source visualization, international data use, and the role of dashboards in climate-resilient, data-driven decision-making processes. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own computers to the workshop. The necessary data sets will be provided in advance by the organizers.

Strengthening cybersecurity in associations (Track: Between commitment and algorithm; conducted by the Federal Office for Information Security)

11:00 - 12:30 | Room 260 | German

Digital solutions—from accessible websites and assistance apps to hybrid mediation formats—open up new opportunities for cultural participation for people with disabilities. The aim of the workshop is to bring together cultural institutions with innovative start-ups that develop digital solutions for inclusive cultural offerings. The two workshops build on each other thematically and should therefore be booked together.

Using organizational knowledge in a participatory and digital way with an organizational wiki - Part 1 (Track: Between engagement and algorithm)

13:30 - 15:00 | Room 260 | German

Dr. Romy Woehlert (KINDERVEREINIGUNG Leipzig e.V.)

Using organizational knowledge with an organizational wiki: This workshop focuses on the use of an organizational wiki for recording, revising, and making work-related knowledge available across an organization that is oriented toward the common good. KINDERVEREINIGUNG Leipzig shares its experience and knowledge regarding the introduction and use of a wiki in internal work processes. Technical, organizational, and human aspects are taken into account. Challenges and possible solutions for successfully dealing with them are presented.

In the second part, participants have the opportunity to develop a wiki concept for their own organization in an interactive and methodically guided manner and to reflect on their designs with the other participants.

Simplifying onboarding processes with organizational wikis – Part 2 (Track: Between engagement and algorithms)
